I am curious - what does choosing only Rust have to do with religion? Or am I taking your statement to literally?

Not the OP, but I interpreted "religious" as something like a strong, unyielding preference. As in "I wear my helmet religiously when cycling."

That’s what I thought too but didn’t want to make any assumptions. In that case it’s honestly stupid to not having income come in for two years because of a preference for a certain language.

When I’m out of job - which has only happened for a grand total of 5 weeks in 30 years including 3x where I was laid off or PIPed (Amazon 2023) - my first priority was to get any job to stop the bleeding and keep interviewing if it wasn’t what I wanted. Luckily, only once did I have to take a stop gap job/contract (2011)

See the Epistle of James (James 5:3)

"And their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire."

Now you've got me curious about what the Bible has to say about crustaceans, and if anyone's already created a religion around Rust [the programming language].
